? Elkin?s National Book Critics Circle Award?winning classic: A compelling novel of one man?s journey to break free from a thousand-year-old family curse ? Since the time of the First Crusade, every generation of the Mills family has been consigned by fate to an unfulfilling, servile existence. And each successive Mills has had a son, George, to perpetuate the family plight through history. Whether a stable hand in feudal Europe or a prisoner in an Ottoman harem, each George Mills falls prey to his hereditary misfortune?until the modern George Mills threatens to reverse this fate once and for all. ? Written with penetrating insight and wit, George Mills is an engrossing story of one man?s salvation, and an unforgettable defense of free will in even the most overwhelming of circumstances. ? This ebook features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author?s estate and from the Stanley Elkin archives at Washington University in St. Louis. ?
